Strategic Management TECEP

[bghill]

I finally took the Strategic Management TECEP today (feels like I've been studying for it forever!). Based on how I felt after I took the Business in Society TECEP and how I scored on that, I'm pretty confident I passed Strategic Management. Not that I'm not eager to get my result back!

I probably studied about 25 hours spread over the last six weeks. I used Crafting & Executing Strategy (18th ed.) -- the TESU recommended textbook. (There was no problem using an older edition, which I bought for little more than the cost of shipping.) I made my own flashcards from the textbook. (I find the act of physically writing things helps me recall them.)

I also looked at nyrapy's flashcards and bricabrac's notes, as well as the feedback on the forum, and the official TECEP test description. As I said about the Business in Society TECEP, pay close attention to the test description. If it's not in the description, it's not on the test. And study the "lists" in the textbook.

I've seen a couple of people comment that they thought Strategic Management was easier than Business in Society. I didn't find it so. For me, there was a lot more material to (try to) memorize on Strategic Management (all those @#$% lists!). But YMMV.



Thanks to all the forum-ites who provided invaluable aid and guidance for this test, especially bricabrac, nyrapy, and TESUAbroad.
